How hotels and restaurants can profit from a photo booth

Renting a photo booth can help you attract guests and market yourself through social channels.

How?

Research has shown that 40% of millennials choose where to stay and where to go for dinner based on the photos they see on Instagram. Building visibility today is increasingly in the hands of guests, and if you give them the means and the way to promote you themselves, you increase the chances that word about you spreads – and in the best way, through other people rather than yourself.

Here is how hotels and restaurants can profit from renting a photo booth:

1. Guests love taking photos at a photo booth

Wherever they appear, photo booths draw people like bees to a hive. It has become a trend. There is simply something about stepping in front of the camera and showing off how much fun you are having.

2. Guests are happier

Maybe there is always a queue to get into your restaurant, maybe your hotel lobby is a dull zone where people wait to check in and out or for a taxi to arrive… whatever your restaurant or hotel is like, some guests will get bored.

Not sure how to keep them entertained?

The answer may be to place a photo booth in the spot you have identified as a potential problem and keep guests entertained. If time passes faster with a photo booth, they will be happier and more satisfied with your service!

3. Effortless brand visibility

Guests' photos can carry your brand name, a hashtag or something else that automatically raises your brand's visibility with everyone who sees those photos. And since we rarely throw photos away, guests will be reminded of their stay with you.

4. Guest information

You can ask guests who step in front of the camera and want their photo for their email address, with their consent, of course. You can later use those emails for promotional purposes. Two problems solved with one solution.

Whatever you want to achieve by renting a photo booth, you will get something back from your guests, and your guests will get a lovely souvenir.
